What a shameful sorry mess govts since 1947 have created for every citizen of this country.
As per the Article 5 I am a citizen of India. But that’s my claim. The govt has ensured that I have no evidence to prove that I am a CITIZEN OF INDIA or BHARAT. I am one of the 1.4 billion Aadhar card holders, 96.8 crore VOTER ID card holders, 78.4 crore Individual PAN Card holders and 9.5 crore passport holders.
Through these and more I can only prove my identity and address not citizenship.
Shocking. After every govt since my birth has forced me to grapple with a corrupt, tedious and incompetent system to acquire cards of different kinds or the way the current regime has tied my identity in a crippling tangle with various cards issued by a slew of its departments.
1) Ministry of External Affairs says-my PASSPORT is not proof of my citizenship. It’s a mere identity document. Next time what if an immigration officer at an US or European airport after checking my passport can say- this proves your identity and address but not your citizenship.
2) In recent times the Election Commission has categorically laid down that the AADHAR is not proof of citizenship. So the Aadhar linked VOTER ID Card is not a citizenship proof
3) courts and govt depts have laid down that the PAN is not a citizenship proof.
4) naturally the UAN card, the NPS card, the DRIVING licence are not evidence of my citizenship.
Now as a citizen I am duty bound to
A) pay taxes. Via the PAN Card
B) the PAN is linked to the ADHAR CARD
C) my bank accounts, investments, superannuation benefits all are linked to my PAN and AADHAR.
D) I can’t get a mobile SIM card without the AADHAR CARD. My biometrics- finger prints, iris and facial photograph are in its system. For security govt wants me to keep the biometrics locked. But if the sim is lost. Biometrics can’t be opened. New SIM will not be issued.
E) SC ruled that AADHAR is mandatory only for those benefiting from govt schemes. But in a complete defiance the govt made it mandatory for every authentication.
F) So rampant is the demand for Aadhar that even private insitutiitions and entities like hotels seek Aadhar for identity. Worse banks and other institutions seek Aadhar based KYC every two to three years.
G) then there are more cards :
Ayushman Bharat card
Ayushman Vay Vandana card
Eshram card
Ration cards
APAAR (Automated Permanent Academic Account Registry) ID: A lifelong digital identity card for students
Divyang Card (UDID)
Kisan Credit Card / Digital Kisan ID
Senior Citizen Card
Freedom Fighter Card
Imagine the huge sarkari machinery created just to create cards for various categories of Indian citizen. Crores of tax payers money spent to create mere “proof of identity”
While just one CITIZENSHIP CARD with a RF chip carrying details of all these “proof of identity” could have done the trick. People could have escaped the red tape and extortion. But that is never the intention of the govts and the bureaucracy. They thrive by making CITIZEN pass through a hurdle race with pits of snakes and spikes. #Passport #AADHAR #PAN

@mediacrooks Currently footpaths are for what? Unable to enforce the existing laws, rules and regulations. Tacitus, Roman historian said "The more corrupt the state, the more numerous laws".

[MediaCrooks @mediacrooks]

In a backward country with the most stupid SC .. Right to walk becomes a "Fundamental Right" as if that will change anything.. Moron judges living in ivory towers think laws can change anything.. LOL! No it doesnt when the country is ruled by criminals.. https://t.co/ZaqtRHvYyD

[Gopal Bihani @gopalbihani]

LOL... Does it require SC to mention that *Foot*path is for walking... Joke. I heard there are some lakh cases pending & courts attend cases like Dahi Handi etc now Footpath. No serious business going on here I think.
Right to walk on Footpaths... Here it is for encroachment only

Forced donation money is nothing but a form of corruption.. Students succumb to the pressure because the SYSTEM creates that pressure through Rijadvasan.. so they have to run to other instis with bribes.. https://t.co/DmkScoYzzE

[MediaCrooks @mediacrooks]

When you junk merit.. you dont just junk high value in the system... you also junk INTEGRITY.. Most of the Rijvad class DOES NOT come with INTEGRITY.. And I predict they will ruin India with their corruption... https://t.co/vQTVi9ugvF

I will consider @NarendraModi's appeal to use less fuel genuine ONLY if he makes it mandatory for all govt employees, IAS Babus and ministers, MPs/MLAs to use only public transport for 6 months.. These are the BIGGEST fuel guzzlers of India.. @Timesnow @Republic @Indiatoday

Modi should stop bullshitting. Buying gold for an auspicious event at home is a custom. Who is he to bullshit? Modi should stop minorities and reservations freebies for one year. Hindus cannot fund his vote buying schemes.

5000 tons is roughly 6 million litres.. and would take at least 1000 tankers to transport.. Whos making all the money?... https://t.co/WYbhRFN08E

Reading is imp.. but its hardly practiced in schools.. pronunciation, diction, pauses.. etc..
I may have learned writing Hindi from school bec it was a regular practice.. but I never wrote Hindi anywhere in my life (except spoken).. NOWHERE.. @drlathac https://t.co/irEYLpdEA3

[MediaCrooks @mediacrooks]

My command of English also doesnt come from school.. It comes from a lot of self-reading, huge library at home, movies, music, surroundings.. right from childhood.. AND NO.. We didnt speak English at home.. https://t.co/yALhKKmDQg

[MediaCrooks @mediacrooks]

I can read Marathi, Gujarati.. not because any school taught me.. but because I constantly saw those languages surrounding me from childhood.. buses, posters, packet labels, hoardings, auto-ads etc.. @drlathac https://t.co/7SbM8ALvXk

[MediaCrooks @mediacrooks]

Reading> you auto learn from your surroundings.. Writing takes effort and learning.. which can either come from family.. or from "special" learning group.. I have met 1000s of kids/parents.. Nobody ever became proficient in Read, Write, Speak from school.. https://t.co/4R9jpWrPh7

[MediaCrooks @mediacrooks]

Im even for removing the 2nd lang nonsense. If youre living from kid-age in Gujarat, Karnataka or TN or wherever.. you automatically pick up local language. IT IS STUPID to teach Gujarati to a Gujarati kid (unless you want to be a scholar in later years).. https://t.co/d8L0eYz7Al

The BJP seems to have badly miscalculated the consequences of the UGC Act and the anger it has triggered among Brahmins and many other General Category citizens. What followed the protests has been even more disappointing than the policy itself.

Instead of acknowledging genuine concerns, many accounts linked to the BJP’s IT ecosystem chose to mock, ridicule and abuse the very people who once stood firmly behind the party. The name-calling, the dismissiveness, and the arrogance have only widened the damage instead of containing it.

For years we were told about “Hindu Unity.” But the moment General Category citizens raised questions about fairness and equal opportunity, many of the same voices who chanted unity suddenly disappeared — or worse, turned hostile. That moment exposed an uncomfortable truth: unity cannot survive if it exists only when one group remains silent.

There is also a worrying political game being played. On one side, policies are introduced that alarm a section of society. On the other side, when backlash grows and courts intervene, narratives begin suggesting “we tried but the General Category went to court.” This kind of gaslighting only deepens divisions and permanently poisons relations between communities.

What is most surprising is the arrogance with which this is being handled. Instead of calming fears, reassuring people, or engaging in dialogue, the response has been propaganda, defamation campaigns, and even political sermons delivered through religious figures.

Many of us once saw Narendra Modi as a symbol of hope. That is precisely why this moment hurts more. Trust, once broken, is not easily rebuilt.

But let me also say this calmly: we have endured hardship before. We have faced insults before. We are not people who give up easily. Competition, resilience, and rebuilding ourselves have always been our strength.

Power should never make anyone forget humility. Political arrogance has brought down many leaders in history.

To those in power — including leaders from the General Category within the government like @nsitharaman — a sincere question: is power so addictive that self-respect must be sacrificed to hold on to it?

Every political decision eventually meets its moment of accountability. No leader, however powerful, is beyond that.

History has a way of reminding even the mightiest that power is temporary.
Even the strongest elephant can slip.

India has 1000s of things to see, places to enjoy.. yet tourists keep declining. Some of the reasons are..
1) Looter cabbies.. 2) Unfriendly cops.. 3) Excessive filth.. 4) Petty crimes.. 5) 3rd-world image..
@NarendraModi spends 1000s of Crs on his own image but not on India..
